New World Bank Report Highlights Four Pathways to Spur Job Creation and Inclusive Growth in South Africa

A new World Bank report titled “Driving Inclusive Growth in South Africa: Quick Wins with Competitive Markets and Efficient Institutions” asserts that a robust economic recovery, shared across all sectors of society, can be achieved in the immediate future by implementing a series of policy actions in four priority areas: infrastructure services; greater private sector participation; creating cities as engines of growth and efficient public spending. This recovery, in turn, has the potential to create the millions of jobs that South Africans need to improve their lives, exit poverty, and contribute to the economy.
